Description
English: Copper-engraving of the view on Beckum by Matthäus Merian. Published in "Topographia Germaniae" edition: "Topographia Westphaliae" in 1647.
This scan was made from a facsimile-print published in 1961 by Bärenreiter, Kassel based on the original edition.
Deutsch: Kupferstich der Stadtansicht Beckums von Matthäus Merian. Veröffentlicht in "Topographia Germaniae" Band "Topographia Westphaliae" von 1647.

Dieser Scan wurde von einem Faksimile-Druck erstellt, der 1961 im Bärenreiter-Verlag, Kassel erschienen ist und basiert auf dem Orginalband.

Der Stich zeigt nicht die Stadt Bochum, sondern die Stadt Beckum! Es handelt sich um die bekannteste und am häufigsten reproduzierte Ansicht Beckums. Das kleine Bild des schweizerisch-deutschen Kupferstechers Matthäus Merian (1593-1650) ist nicht die älteste Abbildung Beckums (Das ist Karte des Bistums Münster von Johanners Gigas aus dem Jahre 1616) Der Kupferstich zeigt in kleinem Format und mit großer Genauigkeit die Topgraphie der Stadt. Die aquarellierte Vorzeichnung für den Stich stammt von Wenzel Hollar (ca. 1634). Letztere ist "Böckhem im Stift Münster" getitelt, so dass evident ist, dass es sich nicht um eine Abbildung von Bochum handelt, mit der der Stich häufiger in Verbindung gebracht wird.
